Rear chassis spring hanger repair panel

Post by southerly95 »

I bought one of these today but looking down the length of it, the tube that takes the shackle pin and rubber bushes is not at right angles to the vertical, it's probably 10 degs out. I think it should be at right angles - could someone confirm which is correct, thanks, John

Hi,

Can't really help with the angle at the moment - will have a look tomo, but be aware this repair panel quality is very poor. I had three from BM before finally getting one with the correct angle. Sri Lanka ones seem worse than the few lmc still kicking around.

You would think that traders would check these kinds of things before dispatch tbh.
I refuse to have anything made abroad due to such sub standard workmanship, sure we may be nation of moany grumpy gits but at least we know how to make things :)
